In June 2019, the Home Front Command upgraded its alert system that now allows for the targeted alert for more than 1,700 warning areas. The upgrade is designed to simplify the alerts for the citizens and enable the maintenance of one’s routine during a time of emergency living.

The test alerts will be conveyed by siren, on TV channels, websites, radio stations and the Home Front Command app.
